CADA/BC Daily Professional-Level Contemporary Class
The BC Chapter, the Contemporary Dance Training Society of Vancouver (CDTSV), and The Dance Centre are partners in the presentation of ongoing Professional Level Contemporary Classes with various local teachers and visiting guest artists/teachers. These classes take place at the Scotiabank Dance Centre, 677 Davie St. (in downtown Vancouver) and are open to all dancers: professional, emerging professional, student, and recreational - with the technical level to participate and the desire to push their dancing in class.
- Viewing by the general public is warmly welcomed.
- These classes depend upon pre-registration to be presented.
- Pre-registration is $10/class to allow as much flexibility for participants as possible.
- Once a session begins drop-in attendance is open to all at $12/class.
